Are You Entertaining Angels?

Are you entertaining angels? What a question! It could mean so many things. So lets break it down. If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know I constantly talk about how someone is always watching and paying attention to your actions. (Here is one of those posts) But what about when it comes to the way you treat people?

Because you never know when you’re entertaining angels. What do I mean by angels? When I say angels I don’t mean literal celestial beings. (Although I won’t totally rule out that possibility.) I’m talking about someone who is a figurative angel. Someone who might be able to help you or teach you something in the future. An advocate of sorts. But here’s the thing these people aren’t always easy to spot. So here are some general rules that can help when it comes to such matters!

1. As a general life rule you are going to have an easier road in life if you treat all the people you come into contact with, with respect. (That should be a no brainier.)
2. Help Everyone. Of course you need to make sure you get your work done but if you are really good in an area and you have the time always offer your assistance. Making other people’s lives easier is always appreciated and scores you brownie points often times!
3. Impress everyone. One way to do that is doing people sincere favors for people. Like if you’re picking up a morning coffee text your co-worker and see what they want from Starbucks. Doing simple things to make other’s day is never a bad idea.

Assume everyone has something to teach you. This goes for everyone, from the intern at work to the CEO, you can learn something from everyone and you never know who could be the next Steve Jobs. One of my favorite authors Caleb Maddix Once said: Millionaires treat normal people, the way normal people treat millionaires.

There you go! That’s how you entertain angels!
